AQR – an Alaska institution for 33 years – is set to launch its most provocative issue ever. Fiction, non-fiction and poetry by writers from Alaska and beyond, plus the extraordinary special feature: “Gaza: The Land Behind the Fence” – an essay and photographs by Eman Mohammed, the first female photojournalist in Gaza. Ms. Mohammed’s photos will be shown with musical accompaniment by Sharman Piper, principal oboist for the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra. Featured Alaskan poets Gary Holthaus and Susanna Mishler will also read from their latest works. This is a literary event not to be missed. Admission is free, with a suggested donation of $20.
